Meanwhile, a battered Claude Luminor and his team meet up with a
back-alley contact in Horizon in hopes of locating a wizard skilled
enough to remove the First Scroll of Resurrection from Claude’s very being. Mako (Drakkel), supposed rightful heir to an underwater empire (and rightful owner of the Pearl of the Ocean in
CREAM’s possession) leads the party to one such shady wizard. The
planned ritual goes sour— demons, who should have been bound by the
ritual to remove the scroll, have mutated into the much more dangerous
devils. A long, harsh battle later, Claude is still stuck with the
Scroll, and resolves to return to the Hellmarsh to uncover the secret of
the devils.
